I thought this was interesting (that typically simis issues don’t normally accompany this virus)

Typical Symptoms
COVID-19 typically causes flu-like symptoms including a fever and cough.

In some patients - particularly the elderly and others with other chronic health conditions - these symptoms can develop into pneumonia, with chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

It seems to start with a fever, followed by a dry cough.

After a week, it can lead to shortness of breath, with about 20% of patients requiring hospital treatment.

Notably, the COVID-19 infection rarely seems to cause a runny nose, sneezing, or sore throat (these symptoms have been observed in only about 5% of patients). Sore throat, sneezing, and stuffy nose are most often signs of a cold.

At the link there’s also examples of how it progressed with some patients.

Sinus (not simis)

That seems odd. You die of your lungs filling with mucous but do not have a runny nose ?
